Well, a movie finally broke us. Horror and mortal terror have a face. In the absolutely dreadful “family film” Tooth Fairy (2010)—quite possibly the worst movie our podcast has ever covered—Dwayne Johnson plays Derek Thompson, a hockey player who specializes in knocking out opponents' teeth. He has a lot on his plate: He's dating Ashley Judd, who has two kids: An adorable little girl who loves him and a punk teenage boy who thinks he's full of crap (Because he is.). At the same time, Derek has some hotshot new competition in the form of Mick “The Stick” Donnelly, a hot-shot new prospect who is described in the span of 25 seconds by the team's coach as both “the future face of this (minor league) franchise” and “only here for a cup of coffee before he makes the NHL.” Then he becomes the Tooth Fairy. Hilarity ensues. Next week: We're off! We return on July 11 for an episode about Fast Five (2011). The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long!

The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast: Episode #107 on PopCulturePros (or #192 for those still brave enough to keep track)Title: Hilarity and Chaos UnleashedThis week, the BLC crew returns to celebrate the most chaotic time of year—graduations, Father's Day, and the subtle art of not having a clue what's going on. Naturally, it spirals into weird words, cultural confusion, and more mental health wisdom than anyone asked for.Fred shares his very own Father's Day reflections, which quickly devolve into rants about socks, snacks, and emotional damage. Parker attempts to keep things heartfelt, while Allan somehow drags us into a debate about whether certain words are real or just made up by British people with too much time.Add in a little unfiltered comedy, a splash of perspective, and a generous scoop of the usual BLC nonsense, and you've got an episode that feels like a graduation speech written on the back of a Waffle House napkin. Tune in and get schooled in laughter—no cap and gown required.
Today’s episode of The Jubal Show is packed with drama, secrets, wild surveys, and hilarious headlines you don’t want to miss. Here’s everything we covered on the show: Toilet Paper Truth Bomb:Science has spoken, and the great debate is over—under is officially the more hygienic way to hang your toilet paper. The team breaks down the shocking results, including pros, cons, cat sabotage, and the controversial role of decorative folds. You vs Victoria - Rachel Takes the Crown:Rachel steps up to challenge Victoria Ramirez in a pop culture-fueled round of trivia. Can she beat the reigning champ and win Lil Wayne tickets? It’s a nail-biter featuring Zelda confusion, space race knowledge, and the eternal hockey vs lacrosse debate. Nina’s What’s Trending - Tankinis, Toxic Trends & Pickles:We explore the tankini revival and the internet’s modesty propaganda accusations. Then things take a dark turn with the rise of “dusting”—a dangerous viral trend involving inhaling aerosol chemicals. Nina wraps it up with a gut-healthy mood booster: pickles for breakfast. First Date Follow Up - Evan & Claire:Evan had what he thought was a perfect first date with Claire—axe throwing, street food, and a kiss. But when Claire ghosted him for a month, he came to us for help. Turns out, screaming out the names of everyone you’ve ever hated while throwing axes isn’t as charming as Evan thought. Claire says it felt more like a therapy session… with weapons. Jubal Phone Prank - Daniel’s Antibiotic Nightmare:Daniel just picked up a prescription—so why is his pharmacist asking if he feels tingling, heavier arms, and slurred speech? Turns out, it’s Jubal with a prank call from the “floral department,” and Daniel is not amused. Hilarity (and almost a 911 call) ensues. Dirty Little Secret - Delivery Guy Hookup:Today’s secret is straight out of a steamy drama. While her husband is away for work, a woman admits she started hooking up with the hot delivery guy—after flashing him on a dare from her friend. It started as a joke… but now it’s full-blown takeout with benefits. What the World Thinks Americans Do Best:From red Solo cups and cheese-on-everything to gender reveals that start wildfires, we run through a new survey of what other countries think Americans excel at. The top answer? Fast food domination. Plus, the crew pitches a million-dollar idea: the refrigerated beer pong table. To Catch a Cheater - Kayla & Dylan:Kayla’s gut tells her Dylan is cheating. Between Snapchat selfies, unexplained receipts, and too many "guys nights" in dry-cleaned outfits, she calls us for help. When Dylan sends flowers to Elise—his “podcast partner”—Kayla shockingly defends him. Is she right to trust him, or is Elise more than just a co-host? From hilarious to heartbreaking and everything in between, today’s Jubal Show episode delivers it all. Your all-access pass to the most hilarious, outrageous, and unpredictable moments from The Jubal Show! Catch up anytime with all your favorite segments, including:

“You've got to be willing to kick your sources right in the balls if necessary, even if they're your friends.” Julie Mason came up the ranks at regional newspapers before becoming a White House reporter.

What We Discuss: The evolving role of journalists in a polarized media environment. How to navigate news consumption and discern credible sources. Insights into the challenges of covering politicians and divisive topics. The growing intersection between social media platforms and journalism.
